Pair it with a quality 4-channel RCA signal from your head unit or DSP processor for best results. For wiring, a 4-gauge power and ground kit is the minimum recommendation to support the 120A fuse rating and ensure clean, stable power delivery. If bridging to 2 channels, verify your speakers or subwoofer can handle the increased output and are rated for a minimum 4-ohm bridged load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep power and ground runs as short as possible, and route RCA cables away from power wiring to eliminate noise. At just 2.2\" tall, the 1200.4 Micro is an excellent choice for under-seat installs — ensure at least 1–2\" of airflow clearance around the heatsink for optimal thermal management in enclosed spaces. For maximum tuning precision, pair the 1200.4 Micro with a DSP processor upstream to handle time alignment, EQ, and crossover duties before the signal reaches the amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRMS Power @ 2Ω (14.4V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300W x 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRMS Power @ 4Ω (14.4V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180W x 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal RMS Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,200W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass-D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (Bridgeable to 2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz – 8kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Pass Filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz – 8kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow Pass Filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50Hz – 8kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuse Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9–16V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.875\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeatsink Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year Standard \/ 2 Year Extended Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What size wiring kit do I need for the Ruthless Audio 1200.4 Micro?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A 4-gauge power and ground wiring kit is recommended as the minimum to support the 120A fuse rating and deliver clean, stable power to the amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I bridge the 1200.4 Micro to run subwoofers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — bridge channels 1+2 and 3+4 for a 2-channel configuration with higher per-channel output.
